This product is an NOS Part.
NOS items are OEM parts from Ford that have been sitting on shelves or in warehouses for years. These are often great examples of the orignal parts, but they may have scratches or other shelf wear.
However be aware that some NOS parts are "service replacement" parts. "Service replacement" parts are not exact replacements of the parts that were installed at the factory, but are what Ford considered as "good enough" and were used at Ford dealerships after the original supply of parts was exhausted.
We often leave NOS product listings on our website after they sell for reference purposes.
These are NOS Mercury Cougar XR7-G dash emblems. The version supplied these days from the OEM supplier do not have as definitive of cross hatch pattern and the edges are not as sharp. Another quick way to discern between NOS and new when original packaging is absent is to look at the back side. The backing for the two sided tape on the reproduction uses green vinyl and the originals used a green paper. The most disappointing difference between the new emblems and these NOS Ford supplied emblems is the size, these are much larger than the modern version. Money well spent for the G owner reaching for show car status. This set pictured has no box and has very minimal shelf wear. You can click the images up to three times for a larger picture.
